1 Bedroom Apartment in Genesis by Meraki, Arjan

Some places have this satisfying sense of calm when you walk in and this one bedroom apartment at Genesis by Meraki in Arjan is definitely one of those. I remember stepping inside and just noticing all the natural light, the kind of morning brightness that makes even a regular day feel a little better. You get these big windows in both the living room and bedroom so whenever you look outside you see the green of the landscaped courtyard, not the usual towers and traffic. Honestly, it is hard not to take a moment at the window and just watch things slow down out there.

Arjan has been changing fast over the past couple of years. It is one of those family focused neighbourhoods where you catch parents waiting outside the school gates or groups of friends having coffee at the corner shop. There's not much rush, and yet, you have really easy access to Umm Suqeim Road, and from there it is pretty straightforward to Downtown, Al Khail or pretty much anywhere you need to get in Dubai. A lot of people like having that balance, where you can duck out for a weekend at Expo City or plan a coffee date at The Palm without sitting in traffic forever.

Back inside, the apartment itself feels made for actual living. The open plan layout actually works, the kitchen is all ready if you really want to cook for yourself, with enough counter space that you don't feel crowded. There's this smooth neutral grey that runs throughout, which is subtle enough for whatever furniture you already have, and the finishes just feel quietly upscale. Not too flashy, nothing overdone just nice touches. Stuff like the door handles or even the tiles on the floor, it is all consistent and you can tell someone cared about the little things.

If you are someone who likes to stay active or just needs a routine after work you will appreciate the roof pool. It is insulated which means even in the warmer months a swim does not feel like a chore. The terrace up there is a nice bonus honestly, sometimes you catch a breeze in the evenings and the city sounds settle down for a bit. There is a kids play area and you do see a lot of young families in the community, especially in the weekends when the little ones are out riding their bikes or playing football in the courtyard. The gym is well equipped and even has a sauna, so you can actually keep up your fitness plans without having to pay for an extra membership somewhere else.

The horseshoe shape of Genesis itself is kind of smart there is a courtyard right in the heart of the building, so that no matter which apartment you are in you get this open view and some peace and privacy at the same time. It makes a difference since a lot of places in Dubai these days are starting to feel packed in.

For security, you have the usual twenty four hour team on duty so everything feels safe even if you are coming back late. And with the schools and shopping so close it is easy to settle into a routine. Some mornings you see neighbours out for a jog or even grabbing breakfast together with their kids before heading out to work.

Normally with new projects you sometimes wonder about the smaller things but Genesis just works quietly in the background. Whether you want somewhere to move into or just want to put your money into something with potential for growth this is a spot worth considering.

The only real way to know if this Genesis apartment is right for you is to come walk through it yourself. Feel the light, check out the courtyard and see if you feel at home.
